Feedback: Clearing up misconceptions about the DIA deal

1:05 PM, June 17, 2014

Regarding the letter in Monday’s Free Press “Help out pensioners, not just DIA,” I want to make it clear that the $26 million pledged by Detroit automakers would not come to the Detroit Institute of Arts; it would go directly to City of Detroit pensioners if the grand bargain is approved.

As part of the grand bargain, the DIA has committed to raising $100 million that would go to the city’s pensioners, and the Detroit Three’s $26 million is part of that commitment.
